The Nor-Cal Cyclocross scene is very strong, filled with incredibly talented female and male racers of all ages.

The best and most consistent Cyclocross racer in the world now is Sven Nys. The Belgium rider is a true hard-man when it comes to Cross racing. He can win in any conditions, especially the worst imaginable. These classic photos show Nys at his best~

Race Face

Bicycle racing does not discriminate. One must have inner drive and fortitude to compete in the game. Female racers are equal to male racers in that suffering and extreme physical exertion comes with the territory when your racing hard. Male or female, to play the game, you must pay the price with desire. These photos show some great race faces produced by some great female racers. Cyclocross style~








Lyne Lamoureux captured these excellent images, and the rest of her outstanding work can be seen here.........
